Does anyone know if you are allowed to use this as a reference for a painting?

Gosh, that's adorable. Love the postman's expression, and the little lady looks so put-together. Such a different time . . .

At this stage of continuous tone film, I can only imagine how many shots it took to get this photo and worked in the darkroom. If this photo was not taken with 5-7-Graf w/fast lens,both subjects must have posed awhile for this photo. This may have been a promotional project for the mail service. The blowing snowfall could have been added in the darkroom. They chose a nice shot.
